Substance use among refugees is a neglected area of public health and service delivery, despite far-reaching health and social consequences for individuals, families, and communities. Emerging evidence suggests that refugees may experience increased vulnerability to substance use due to the unique risk factors they face throughout the migration journey. The UNC Refugee Mental Health and Wellness Initiative (based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina) has recognized substance use as a concern among some local refugee groups; however, a recent community needs assessment noted that a disconnect exists between refugees and local providers in their perceptions of substance use as a community concern. This project seeks to raise provider awareness by developing a learning module about substance use in refugee populations. Intended for public health practitioners and service providers who work with resettled refugees, the module outlines risk factors that may contribute to substance use among refugees, models proposed to explain substance use onset in migrant populations, and implications for practice at individual, community, and systems levels.
